I have always been amused by stories of how parents threw away comic
books as a bad influence on their kids. To see this meme resurrected
in 2023 is terrifying. Agree with lots of things in this thread, but
wanted to call out the "billionaires are seeking customers in
embodying the technology that proved profitable for selling sci fi" to
be one of the neatest little arguments in this thread.
